I owned a RANE SM82 a couple of years back and wish I hadn't sold it.
It was CLEAN. Pristine clean. Compared to my Mackie 1604 and a decent
stereo pre-amp, the RANE beat them both, hands down (when ABing a line
input like a CD player). Even though the RANE only had one effect send,
by panning channels, I was able to use it as two independent sends.
